Question

7/16 is smaller than which of the following below?
1/2", 1/4", 3/8" or 3/16"

Answer 1

as a carpenter, we would say 1/2 ... but then again, we were just carpenters

Answer 2

adjust everything to 16ths and compare numerators

Answer 3

{1/2, 1/4, 3/8, 3/16} = {0.5, 0.25, 0.375, 0.1875}
7/16 = 0.4375
7/16 < 1/2
